Survey Reveals What People Pack for Holidays

When some people travel they pack the bare minimum in their
suitcases. Some other people try and fit everything in their house in the
suitcase.

British airways has recently completed a survey and found
some interesting things that people have taken on holidays with them, including
food items such as sardines, peanut butter, Marmite and even tomatoes. Fancy
dress nuns’ outfits, kettles and potato peelers were some of the other unusual
items some people like to take with them.

“We don’t really want
to have to choose between books, toiletries or tea-bags, or to dress kids in
half their holiday clothes just to avoid excess baggage fees,” said Abigail
Comber, British Airways’ head of brands and marketing.

“Something as basic as checking what your baggage limit is
on your chosen airline will help. We know from the research that 23 per cent of
people don’t look into it before they get to the airport.”

The survey found that most people love to over-pack. It was
found that nine out of ten holidaymakers don’t use up to 30 per cent of the
items they take away with them. And almost half of us take more than three
pairs of shoes on a week-long holiday, and . that one in eight of us take more
than three towels with us!
